IDF Awarded for Stopping "Potential Terrorist Disaster"

A certificate of recognition was awarded to an IDF special forces unit that stopped a potential terrorist attack last week in the South Hebron Hills. Last Tuesday, in a complex operation, the unit eliminated three terrorists who were caught with explosive charges. Other members of the terror cell were arrested.

Police Commissioner Yohanan Danino and the chief commander of the IDF special tactical unit presented the awards on Monday stating, "Israel owes a lot to the unit and its fighters who risk their lives every day. The success of the operations prevented a terrible disaster."
